Case Study: Anne Arundel Dermatology achieves 13% more encounters and 17% higher net collections with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite (EMA)

Anne Arundel Dermatology Physicians Save Time While Increasing Productivity with the EHR System, EMA™

Anne Arundel Dermatology is a large, multi-site dermatology practice—72 clinicians across 31 locations including Mohs centers and a pathology lab—that struggled with a failed EHR implementation and found template-based systems didn’t fit the specialty’s complex workflows. The practice needed a system that would adapt to how physicians work without costing more time or productivity.

In 2012 they implemented Modernizing Medicine’s EMA, a cloud-based EHR with a native iPad app, integrated access across sites, VisualDx imaging, MIPS automation and analytics. The result: clearer documentation and faster record access, providers leaving up to 1–1.5 hours earlier, and measurable productivity gains—about a 13% increase in encounters and a 17% rise in net collections—along with greater physician satisfaction.
